WEBVTT NEW INFORMATION. KIM. KIM: NO CASES OF THE ZIKA VIRUS HAVE ORGINIATED IN THE UNITED STATES BUT THE POSSIBILITY OF IT SPREADING NORTH EXISTS, SO DOCTORS HOPE TO GET A BETTER HANDLE ON THE DISEASE, AND WORK TOWARD A CUR QUICK THIS VIRUS HAS REALLY EXPLODED TRANSMITTING THROUGHOUT CENTRAL AMERICA, SOUTH AMERICA AND ITS ARRIVAL IN THE AMERICAS AND THE LINK TO THE CONGENITAL MALFORMATIONS HAS REALLY CAUSED CONCERN THAT WE'RE SEEING TODAY. KIM THE ZIKA VIRUS IS PRIMARILY : A CONCERN FOR PREGNANT WOMEN WHO BECOME INFECTED, MANY BABIES HAVE BEEN BORN WITH MICROCEPHALY OR A SMALL HEAD.
